Ten Pieces @ the Hackney Empire14 May 2024 (by Sarah Blaikie (sblaikie)) |
Today the Year 3's were lucky enough to visit the Hackney Empire to see the BBC Symphony Orchestra perform some of the most famous motifs and melodies written by composers from all over the world!
We learned the stories behind the musical notes and were encouraged to picture the scenes that they were inspired by. We even played a helping hand in arranging and composing the final piece, inspired by a rocket taking off from planet Earth and orbiting in space. We learned about a host of new instruments and recognised a few familiar ones, too.
